West Virginia v. EPA Part I: Roberts Puts A Band-Aid On The Regulatory State

Posted on July 5, 2022 by Wolf Howling

The Supreme Court decision in West Virginia v. EPA is being hailed by some as a “blockbuster” that put a brake on America’s regulatory state. The Court held that the Environmental Protection Agency exceeded the limits of the power that Congress delegated to it when the EPA drafted a regulation,

Bookworm Beat 6/27/22 — special Supreme Court meme edition

Posted on June 27, 2022June 27, 2022 by Bookworm

With the Supreme Court whipping out decisions and Democrats still on a rampage, I’ve got too many memes to wait until Friday. A caveat goes with the next one: The Supreme Court was addressing a very specific law. However, the principles laid out mark the death knell of red flag

2020 is the year when all bad things converge to put our nation under a threat the likes of which we have not seen since 1861. 2020 is the year when all bad things converge — the radical socialist movement, the weaponized victim’s groups, critical theory, the legacy of partisan

Tempest in a Tweet Pot

Posted on February 15, 2020 by Wolf Howling

The left has two missions. Defeat Trump and stop Bill Barr before he exposes the worst political scandal in our nation’s history.
